The Red Bluffs Road.

As to the road to Red Bluff, ex.Gov.

Boulder Valley road at Boulder, follow
down the Boulder to the Jefferson, cross
from the Jefferson to the Madison, touch
Red Bluff and follow the Madison to the
edge of the National Park. The first OBJ
jective point is Red Bluff. There Mr..
Hauser and his associates have bonded
three or four highly promising mines.

in the neighborhood of 100000. Mr.. A.
Raht, superintendent of the Wickes re-

will spend o week there examining the
mines. If his report is satisfactorily
favorable work will be begun Immediate

Bluff in ninety days. 1t is probable that

the ultimate plan is to tap the National
Park and cause park passenger travel to
enter or leave that land of geysers and
cataracts by way of Helena and the new
road.
Another company incorporated designs
to build railroad from some point in the
Gallatin valley to the Madison, where 1t
will connect with the Boulder & Madison
road. The name of this company is the
Helena, Gallatin & National Park road
Surveying parties are now out looking
up feasible route for this line. It l.
not settled whether its point of diverg-
ence will be Bozeman or Gallatin. The
Bozeman people are very anxious that it
shall be at their city and offer considera

Arbor Day comes almost too late this
wear to be of mnch Use and cannot there
be generally observed in this valley. This
we hope, will not hinder our citizens,
especially those in town, from planting
trees on the streets, lawns and avenues,
Bozeman is already desigated as the most
beautiful town In the territory, by reason
of the many trees planted by the pion-
eers and watered by irrigating bitches.
These trees have commercial value and
the work and culture necessary for their
propagation enhances the value of prop
erty to great extent. 1t requires trees,
flowers and shrubbery to constitute wha'
is called home, all of which can be oh
tained in Bozeman by slight exertion.

"HOW SHE FELT" ETC.

Matt W. Alderson's book of "How She
Felt in Her First Corset" and other
poems, a copy of which is before us, is
creating quite asensation throughout the
territory. Being the first book of poems
ever issued in Montana it naturally
causes great deal of comment, as did
the first productions of Byron, Poe and
other noted poets who set their melan-
choly thoughts to the music of poetry.
Not being much of poet ourselves we
are unable to give direct criticism OF
the work, but herewith present one by
Johnny Read:
"The book has been given to the world,
as will be seen by the following adver-
tisement which we find IN the New York
Weekly, a journal of high literary char
acter:
HOW SHE FELT sET, IL FEE eie. Fiasr ana tSoa. GSa
sand. Get It and laugh. Cloth, 75c; Paper
3Oc. MATT. W. ANDERSON, Butte, Mont.
1t will be observed that the author in
order to place the work within reach OF
the toiling masses has fixed upon it the
low price of rs cents, in cloth. We don't
know what kind of cloth it is. 1t may
be sack-cloth and ashes. In any event
we feel certain that the cloth is worth
fully as much as the book, and thus pur-
chasers will be assured of double bar
gain. For some reason or other the
Montana press has not been favored with
a copy of the publication. Even the In
ter Mountain has been forgotten In the
rush which the clemorous east has made
to procure copies. When the third thous-
and is issued it is hoped MIR. Aiderson's
brethren Of the press in Montana will
not be overlooked. We all have a nat
ural though innocent desire to know how
a girl feels In corsets.

1t seems Private Secretary Lamont,
finds his official life rather monotonous
80 far as gossip is concerned, and does
not understand why he is permitted to
remain undisturbed in his position, since
the ill-wishers ofthe administration have
been so persistently officious in break
ing the Presidents official household.
Higher officers than the Colonel have
been made to resign repeatedly during
the past two years, and why should not
his turn Gomez When newspaper man
asked him which would be the next big
appointment he replied "4the new private
secretary, Isuppose." When asked if he
was not afraid to perpetrate such a joke
as that on even moderately enterpris-
ing news gatherer he said, mot at all,
why should be afraid have enjoyed
nearly all the glories of public office ex-
cept that great glory-a quarrel with the
administration and resignation.
think it is fairly my turn now to come in
for little of the fame which grows out
of resignation of Office which is not re.
signed. "Go head" continued he, "and
say have resigned" The newspapers
had conferred almost every other distinc-
ton upon him, he said, and they would
set it all right at last anyhow.

Nine-tenths of the Republican papers
are now bowling over the removal of
the settlers from Crow Creek. They do
not mention the fact that Ex-President
Arthur did wrong by allowing these peo-
pie to usurp the rights Of the Indians
to this reservation; they fail to say that
President Cleveland has been lenient in
the matter and allowed the squatters to
remain one year, in order that they
might select abiding places elsewhere.
President Cleveland is simply doing his
duty. The cry about the settlers being
driven away at the point of the bayonet
is false. The settlers were told to leave
and refused; regiment of troops was
sent to compel their compliance, and is
now doing 80 without having to resort to
arms. If Republican papers expect to
weaken the wholesome effects Of Cleve-
lands administration by such demagog-
cry they will fail utterly.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.

Fl The east is awakening to an era of pro-
gress and good times that has not been
experienced for many years. The growth
of the west and the south has alarmed
the eastern capitalists and business men
generally. The slow.going east has found
that the west and south are outstripping
them in the race of competitlon. For
years the great east has supinely gazed
at the rapid growth of the country across
the Mississippi; has expressed surprise,
admired and even commended the enter
prise of it's western neighbor; but has
done nothing to keep up with the process
SION. What is the result? While the
east has stopped work to gaze in rapture
at the west its industries hsve been
neglected and the west and south have
gained what it has lost. In the south
the Alabama iron manufactures are do
ing the business that Pennsylvania has
allowed to slip from her grasp, and all
through the New South and West enter
prises that were once the exclusive prop
erty of the east, are now making 1t nee
essary for eastern business men to pro
tect themselves. The United States was
everin more prosperous condition than
it is to-day; especially is this true of the
west, and more particularly of Montana.
The Territory is just entering upon one
of the most important epochs of its ex-
istence. Our rich gold and silver mines,
our inexhaustible measures of coal, our
rich and fertile agricultural valleys; our
vast area of grazing grounds are all being
brought to the notice of capita lists, who
know good thing when they see it. A
few years ago it was impossible to obtain
loans upon farming lands in this valley;
but no such difficulty exists now. Where
property is low and its products high, it
takes no prophet or the son of a prophet
to forecast the Outcome.

That veteran Montanian, Mr.. James
Fergus, one of the keenest observers and

ranch in Montana ought to be furnished
with barometer, and that few dollars
spent in that direction would save
thousands. The barometer is an unfailing
prophet, and the sensitive elements are
aware of the coming of storm long
enough in advance of its appearance to
give opportunity to seek cover. When
our ranchmen learn that there is money
and safety in barometers, they will not
be without the daily advice of such a
useful instrument.-Herald.
